Following last week’s readings on BHCR, my novel Leland Poet is available today on Kindle (here).

Magic, mystery and murder haunt a strange, brutal city…Some things are too grotesque, even for a world of supernatural nightmare. The eccentric, untrustworthy Leland Poet investigates: who is the killer, and what awakening evil is behind this reign of terror?When he becomes entangled with a woman at the heart of the horror… then becomes a suspect… Leland is forced to flee not only the city – but his own dimension…Social breakdown follows: martial law, savagery, an epidemic of violence and bizarre disease.Leland must find a way back to his reality, through eerie netherworlds, to confront fears half-forgotten – but far from dead.

…So goes the blurb. A little background here for the curious; basically it’s a vanity project, but I hope not an uninteresting one.

Something different… In a week’s time I’m back on Nigel Staley’s programme Under The Table onBrighton & Hove Community Radio, Thursday 27th June, 6 – 7pm. (Not bad going, considering the last occasion was only a couple of months back.) This time I’ll be performing eight spoken word pieces, with ambient interludes from Susumu Yokota’s album The Boy and the Tree. The pieces will include three extracts from this novel, Leland Poet – which I’m re-releasing onto Kindle the following week, on Monday 1st July.

It’s quite a step away from strumming guitar, but there’s many hooks to grip you with.
